The phone rings and the lady of the house answers, 'Hello.'
'Mrs. Sanders, please.'
'Speaking.'
'Mrs. Sanders, this is Doctor James at Saint Agnes Laboratory. When your
husband's doctor sent his biopsy to the lab last week, a biopsy from
another Mr. Sanders arrived as well.
We are now uncertain which one belongs to your husband. Frankly, either
way the results are not too good.'
'What do you mean?' Mrs. Sanders asks nervously.
'Well, one of the specimens tested positive for Alzheimer's and the other
tested positive for HIV. We just can't tell which is which.'
'That's dreadful! Can you do the test again?' questioned Mrs. Sanders.
'Normally we can, but Medicare will only pay for these expensive tests
once and once only..'
'Well, what am I supposed to do now?'
'The folks at Discovery Health recommend that you drop your husband off
somewhere in the middle of town.
If he finds his way home, don't sleep with him.'
